Contextual Overview
10 My sonne, if sinners entice thee, consent not vnto them. 11 If they say, come with vs, let vs lay wayte for blood, and lurke priuily for the innocent without a cause: 12 Let vs swallowe them vp lyke the graue quicke and whole, as those that go downe into the pit: 13 So shall we finde all maner of costly riches, and fill our houses with spoyles: 14 Cast in thy lot among vs, and let vs all haue one purse. 15 My sonne, walke not thou with them, refrayne thy foote from their wayes. 16 For their feete runne to euyll, and are hasty to shed blood. 17 But [as] in vayne, the nette is layde foorth before the birdes eyes: 18 So these lay wayte for the blood of them, and lye priuily for their liues. 19 Such [are] the wayes of euery one that is greedie of gayne, who taketh away the life of the owner therof.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
For their feet run to evil,.... To the evil of sin, to commit robberies and murder, and all manner of iniquity; they are eager upon it, and in haste and swift to do it, Proverbs 6:18 x; being carried away with their inordinate affections, which are as feet to the soul; and drawn aside with their lusts, and pushed on by Satan, and, encouraged by one another, and so rush on headlong to the evil of punishment also; and which is a reason why their ways and paths should be abstained from, because they bring upon them swift destruction; it is to their own hurt they run, as Jarchi interprets it; though the first sense seems best to agree with what follows;
and make haste to shed blood; the blood of innocent persons, in order to get their substance, to cover their iniquity and shame, and that no information may be given of them; this is mentioned as having something very horrible in it, in order to deter from joining with them.
x "Velox ad facinus", Claudian. in Rufin. l. 1. v. 240.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Proverbs 1:16. For their feet run to evil — The whole of this verse is wanting in the Septuagint, and in the Arabic.
